I don't understand this problem. If it is about size, you need to use the
figure settings. I would use relative sizes (such as 80% column width). You
can also assign images to graphic groups.
I was also hoping for a way to put the text and graphic side-by-side
in some cases. I tried to set up a text box at 45% width and then
a figure float on the other side but that did not work. My use
of powerdot will be heavily dependent on getting figures in easily.
For side-by-sidy placement, use \twocolumn{ fig }{ text }.
The \twoculumn command is not yet supported by LyX 2.0, so you need to enter
the command and the braces via TeX mode.

Powerdot and graphics
Hello All, I am using LyX 2.0.5.1. on a Mac (10.6.8) with the powerdot layout that comes preinstalled. I am trying to get powerdot to easily include figures in a sensical way. I have had no luck fiddling on my own and the powerdot manual does not address figure placement. I was hoping someone would have some tips as I couldn't find anything in the archive. I am relatively new to lyx/latex. The main issues are that the graphic is added in a way that it flows off the slide. I can specify the size using the dialog box but I am hopeful there would be a more intelligent way? I was also hoping for a way to put the text and graphic side-by-side in some cases. I tried to set up a text box at 45% width and then a figure float on the other side but that did not work. My use of powerdot will be heavily dependent on getting figures in easily. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Joe
